As head coach in Denver, McDaniels drafted Tebow in the first round and later based his offense around the electric enigma. McDaniels is now serving his second stint as New England’s offensive coordinator.

“Obviously, it’s hard to simulate their tempo, how precise Brady is, and those types of things, but we did our best,” Ryan told reporters Friday (via ProFootballTalk.com). “Tebow had a good grasp playing under Josh McDaniels and being drafted by Josh, so he did a nice job at quarterback for us, I thought.”

One other key point of emphasis from Jets camp this week: New England’s no-huddle offense.

Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine told the New York Daily News that Jets coaches will besiege the officials prior to Sunday’s game to make sure New England is operating by the book offensively.

“It’s going to be a major point of contention before (our) game with the officials to make sure that they know the rule is when they substitute, we’re permitted to substitute,” Pettine said. “If the officials don’t (enforce that rule), then the game is going to become chaos. We need to make sure that that is enforced for this game, because we found examples on tape where it has not been.”

Pettine said he found specific instances of what he perceived to be rule-bending when studying New England’s game film against Denver.

In that contest, the Patriots ran 94 plays and finished with 35 first downs.

"It's borderline illegal because sometimes the guys aren't always set when they snap the ball," Jets linebacker Calvin Pacetold ESPNNewYork. "But it's smart. Why not hurry a team up? I wish we would do it. For a defense, it just puts pressure on you."
